Dockerize IBM Streams

It is very convenient to run IBM Streams in Docker container to avoid huge VM overhead. There is one project available, but my plan is not so ambitious.
The solution is described here, Dockerfile file is also available there. It is not full automation, it is rather several pieces of advice how to set up Docker container with running IBM Streams domain and instance inside, just lightweight Virtual Machine easy to set up and calm down.
But it comes with one serious limitation. Only single host standalone installation is possible. Multihost installation requires resolving IP-DNS mapping and I failed to overcome this problem.
But standalone installation is enough for developing, testing and evaluation. I will keep going to support multihost also.
